The schedule before the All-Star Weekend is relatively easy. The Clippers and Knicks are both recognized as weak teams. Because the Celtics have the highlight of the All-Star Game and have a good record, Rivers boldly decided to
In the substitute game, Krstic, Birdman Anderson, Darrell Wright, Tony Allen, and Delonte West were sent out.
But what is surprising is that the Celtics also won one of the two games. When facing the Clippers, Chris Anderson perfectly restricted the Clippers captain Elton.
Brand, the All-Star power forward who averaged 20+10 points per game, only scored 16 points and 7 rebounds under the defense of the Birds, and the core of the Clippers' outside line, Corey Maggette, was also there.
Tony Allen's defense was reduced to a role player. If the Celtics showed others a gorgeous offense before, then what this game showed was the Celtics' iron-blooded defense.
Tony Allen also made his strong defensive skills known three years earlier than in reality.
The current Celtics team leaves it to Tony Allen whenever there are difficult-to-defend opponents on the perimeter. Tony Allen has great toughness and good basic skills. He also has excellent running and jumping abilities, and his wingspan is average in the NBA.
Above the level, more importantly, he is not as easily angered as other young people. In fact, an excellent defender cannot be reflected in statistics. What is truly reflected is the statistics of the person he defends.
Dwight Howard's Defensive Player of the Year honor is entirely due to his popularity and outstanding statistics, but many people know that Howard's defense is not as gorgeous as the statistics. He often misses his own defense in order to give people a big blow.
People. Players like Bowen, Christie, and Tony Allen may not see a steal or a block in the entire game, but they make you indescribably uncomfortable.
Although Tony Allen is inconspicuous in the team and always does dirty work, he can have some glory during the All-Star Weekend. Tony Allen was also selected to the first-year team. Although this time
In the rookie game, no one expected the first-year team to beat the second-year team, but Tony Allen was still very pleased. After all, the first year of his career had already shown that he was the most outstanding among dozens of players.
People. is a good start.
The Celtics have three players who will participate in the rookie game, second-year Milicic and first-year players Al Jefferson and Tony Allen. Milicic also jokingly told Jefferson that if this time
He would definitely not be merciful in the fight, but Jefferson was also very open-minded. He said to Milicic: "Brother, if you have the strength, put it on their main players. This year, the main players inside are Howard and Okafor."
.Just take the initiative to get down when I come on stage."
Marcus Banks, Delonte West and Darrell Wright all felt very disappointed. Although the three of them were also called the Celtics' young guards, they were unable to play
Due to unsatisfactory time and data, this opportunity was missed, especially Darrell Wright, who was himself a relatively high-ranking rookie. Fortunately, Milicic promised them to treat them to a meal after the All-Star weekend.
A big meal and a laptop for everyone.
The All-Star Game was held in Denver, but Carmelo Anthony was not selected for the All-Star Game, which made him somewhat disappointed. However, everyone had arrived in Denver early before the All-Star Weekend, and James was relieved.
He looked at Anthony and told him that the All-Star Game was only a matter of time.
Since the Celtics had a lot of people heading into the All-Star Weekend this time, the boss was generous and chartered a special plane for everyone to go to Denver to relax.
Just after getting off the plane, Milicic received a call from LeBron James. James said on the phone: "Darko, I have a relatively difficult thing to challenge with you today. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Not interested..." Milicic said directly.
"What... I'm not interested. I hate your lazy attitude the most. You're not interested even before I tell you. What if I mean to go pick up girls with you, wouldn't I be interested too?"
"Then I'm even less interested..."
"Why, I think we are a golden combination. The two of us appearing together will definitely have an 80% chance of winning over any woman." James said proudly on the other end of the phone.
"To be honest, if I act alone, there is probably a 100% chance..."
"No matter, anyway, you can meet me at the Hilton Hotel later, and we can have some fun together. Also, remember to dress handsomely so as not to embarrass me, and...bring a few friends with you."
Milicic was really helpless. This little emperor always thought that if something happened, he had to let others follow his own temper. Milicic thought that no one would agree to participate in such a boring thing, so he said casually.
: "LeBron just told me to go have some fun together. Do you want to go?"
The old players are not interested. They prefer to go to the casino, or go back and have a good sleep before planning. Moreover, they have been to Denver a long time ago. The entertainment here is very different from those in New York and Los Angeles.
.
The young players also wanted to go alone. Only West came over, looked at Milicic with an innocent face, and said: "Darko, I didn't bring much money with me this time. I just swiped my credit card a few days ago."
Damn it, it happens that my second cousin wants to borrow some money from me, as you know..."
Milicic looked at him like that, sighed, and said: "LeBron is so rich, of course he doesn't need us to spend money. You don't have to worry about this."
Hearing this, West's lewd smile bloomed brightly again, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "We all know that LeBron is rich, but he is thick... I don't think he is more powerful than me."
Hearing this, Milicic had a dark look on his face and thought darkly: "I can only ask the mother and son if they are as thick as you. It's better for an outsider like me not to interfere."
At this time, Milicic was still in a good mood. He wanted to relax before the All-Star Weekend. After all, he had not had a good time to relax after his rebirth. The rhythm of the NBA was too strong and the schedule was too intensive. There was no buffer.
Opportunity.
Milicic looked at the clear sky and couldn't help but say in his heart: All-star, here I come! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your
